Summer, a few years back now
Bridport has a long and interesting history, there is evidence in the lumps and bumps of the landscape that people have lived in this area since prehistoric times. In 1086 The Domesday book calls it Brideport. Bridiport 1157, Brudiport 1207, Bredeport 1266. The definition of the name means ‘Harbour or market town belonging to Bredy’, from Old English Port which can mean either ‘port’ or ‘market’ and Brit the name of the river that runs through it.
The winner of the fiendishly difficult "where's it to?" competition is Bridport Radio Member Poohface who has bagged a £30.00 gift voucher to spend in Steptoes by telling us where these six pictures were taken, there was also a tiebreaker to complete. We liked Poohface's "I think Bridport is great because…we have a fantastic link to the community through Bridport Radio" But AndyHead's "I think Bridport is great because…I've lived here ten years and there still lots of obscure architectural details that I am unfamililar with" wins him one of our limited edition Mikkimugs.
Our caption competition was so much fun we want to do another one but we need your help, so please contact us for details on how to send us your photos. Anyhoo… congratulations to Bridport Radio Member TINY MIND who wins one of the much sought after Bridport Radio limited edition MikkiMugs with his caption.
